Spanish Political Party Calls for Bitcoin RegulationThe call for governance comes after El Ministerio de Hacienda y Administraciones Publicas, the Spanish government agency that deals with matters of finance and taxation, issued a ruling stating that bitcoin should be treated as an electronic payment system.
